new building but not taken care of
Pros
new appliances. lots of natural light, huge windows. central A/C. bathtub and kitchen sink were extra deep. electric stove and built in microwave. rooftop access. pet friendly.
Cons
studio apartments are ridiculously small and overpriced. fridge started leaking within first month of living there. video intercom stopped working and no one was able to fix it. heat fixture in bathroom broke and almost started a fire. A/C had to be repaired multiple times. Had to replace the smoke detectors multiple times. Didn't have hot water for over 1 month, department of health had to come and do an inspection. after that, water was scalding hot for next 6 months. non-responsive management. super changed twice in the year I was there. garbage management is horrendous and department of sanitation was writing tickets every week. blood and feces on staircases/hallway walls for weeks on end. packages stolen constantly. laundry machines were never installed on the 4th floor even though it was advertised as having laundry on every floor. I would avoid at all costs.
pretty good so far
Pros
- easy access to subway & bus - grocery & laundromat nextdoor - nightlife nearby - well insulated brick walls
Cons
- they said it came w central ac and there is no central ac - there doesn’t seem to be a super besides the landlord
